Big Box Pawn Shop: Sell, Buy Or Hock At New Chain Store
Ryan Martin had never been in a pawn shop before so he wasn’t
sure what to expect when he entered the new Pawn America, carrying
a Fender guitar amplifier to sell.
But instead of walking into a dimly lit store in a seedy part of
town, dealing with a guy behind iron bars wearing a visor, Martin
was inside the former Circuit City big box at East Towne talking to
a young woman in a white sports shirt.
Martin ended up getting $200 cash for the amp, a good price
considering he bought it used a year ago for $300.
“I’d heard they were opening so I thought I’d better check it
out,” says Martin, 33, who lives in Sun Prairie and works at
American Family Insurance. “I was surprised how nice it is in
here.”
Which is exactly the point of Pawn America, a Twin Cities-based
chain that’s working to put a kinder, gentler face on a business
long associated with the down and out.
“We’re changing the Hollywood stereotype of the pawn shop,” says
Pawn America district manager Karl Hattman.

i own a Fender Deville amplifier and the red indicator light has to be replaced. how can i take it out?
Nov 05, 2007 by Robert M | Posted in Music & Music Players
The Red light that indicates the amplifier is turned on....(on a Fender Deville 410)... has to be replaced and it is difficult to unscrew it out of its place. Is there another way to replace the small bulb?
First you need to pull the chassis. Do this by unscrewing the four screws on the top of the amp that go through those metal strips. Then pull the metal box at the top of the amp in back (the chassis) out.
Unplug the amp before you do this.
DO NOT TOUCH THE CAPACITORS. The electrical charge they hold even when the amp is unplugged for a long time can kill you.
If you don't know what a capacitor is, don't even attempt this and take it to an amp tech.
Once you have the chassis out you have access to the jewel light from the inside and can take it out and replace it.
